Scattered showers, humid, high 81

A cold front is heading toward the region, which is responsible for the clouds, higher humidity and scattered showers ahead of the front today. The best chance of rain will be later this afternoon. A few thunderstorms are possible, but the threat of any severe weather remains low at this time.

Showers linger through tonight and into Monday morning as the front crosses through western Massachusetts. Behind the front, the afternoon should feature clearing skies and lower humidity with dewpoints in the 50s. This pleasant weather continues through the middle of the week as high pressure takes control, and our high temperatures stay in the lower-80s. The next chance of rain is not expected until Thursday.

While Tropical Storm Dorian fizzled out yesterday without any significant impacts, the peak of hurricane season does not start for about a month. Find out the two prime reasons why it begins so late in the summer on the CBS3 Pinpoint Weather Blog.
